The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. Gulf of Mexico - A weak high pressure ridge will extend from the W Atlantic across the northern Gulf through the forecast period. A trough will exit the W coast of the Yucatan each night with locally fresh NE winds.
2. Caribbean Sea - High pressure NE of the area will maintain fresh to strong trades over the S central Caribbean the next several days. A tropical wave in the W Caribbean will move across Central America late tonight through Sun.
3. Tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the next 5 days.
4. Tropical Waves...
4a. A tropical wave is in the east Tropical Atlantic with axis extending from 20N34W to 10N33W, moving west near 15 kt over the past 24 hours. The wave coincides with a well defined 700 mb trough as depicted in the global models and within a surge of moisture as seen on the SSMI Total Precipitable Water imagery. Despite this, no associated deep convection is observed at this time as Saharan dust dominates the area.
4b. A tropical wave is moving across western Caribbean with axis from 20N79W to 10N79W, moving west at 10-15 kt over the past 24 hours. The wave is within a surge of moisture as seen on the SSMI Total Precipitable Water imagery. Scattered moderate convection is observed to the west of the wave's axis enhanced by the presence of an upper-level inverted trough.
4c. A tropical wave is moving across the Yucatan Peninsula with axis from 21N90W to 12N90W, moving west near 10 kt over the past 24 hours. The wave coincides with a weak 700 mb trough as depicted in the global models. Scattered moderate convection is observed with this wave affecting the western portion of the Yucatan Peninsula.
